Traditional Church or Chapel Service

The traditional funeral service is often held at the mortuary chapel or at a church selected by the family. During the service, the casket may be open or closed, depending on religious customs and personal preferences.

After the service is complete, family and friends of the deceased may drive to the cemetery for a brief graveside committal. Charter is pleased to offer personal service to each family honoring their faith or denomination if so chosen. Charter will meet with you to plan a service that offers both comfort and respect.
